When this played it had all of our attention, simply because the voice. We all knew it was the CCR dude, yes John Fucking Fogerty and we all loved it! Man, time passes so quick. Now it's a classic just like me and all my old friends from the 80's! We also grew up as kids in the 70's where some of the best music that was ever written began. If not the 70's rock, there would be no hard rock and metal! kudos to AC/DC and ZZ-top and everything in between.

      Bad Company was a British Band and when Paul Rodgers asked about the Southern/Blues-rock guitar and vocal sound, he simply said because that is what we were going for and I guess we a are good at it because many people assumed we were a band from the Southeastern United States until hearing an interview.

    Here you go, a masterpiece by John Fogerty!
    He take the thunder from the mountain
    He take a lightning from the sky
    He bring a strong man to his begging knee
    He make the young girl's mama cry
    You got to hidey-hide
    You got to jump and run
    You got to hidey-hidey-hide
    The old man is down the road
    He got the voices speakin' riddles
    He got the eye as black as coal
    He got a suitcase covered with rattlesnake hide
    And he stands right in the road
    You got to hidey-hide
    You got to jump up run away
    You got to hidey-hidey-hide
    The old man is down the road
    He make the river call your lover
    He make the barking of the hound
    Put a shadow 'cross the window
    When the old man comes around
    You got to hidey-hide
    You got to jump and run again
    You got to hidey-hidey-hide
    The old man is down the road
    The old man is down the road
    You got to, you got to, you got to
    Hidey-hidey-hide

    With this song, John Fogerty was sued for plagiarism for copying himself. The late Saul Zaentz was the former owner of Fantasy Records during the CCR era and owned the rights to Fogerty's compositions. He unsuccessfully sued Fogerty claiming this song ripped off "Run Through The Jungle". Though there is a similar style in the two songs, the judge ruled in favor of John Fogerty who, by the way, finally regained majority rights to his own songs earlier this year.

      When CCR was new to the radiation in OKC , and I was in my first kid band , we played a LOT of their songs . Young and older alike loved their music , and it got us a lot of work . We wore out a few albums setting the needle back to the song's start , over and over , 'til we got it right . I didn't know yet about ASCAP fees for public. " venues " , and I wondered aloud if we should be sending them some money ! In retrospect , it was my first attempt at studying style and composition . I'm near 70 years now , and I still listen to and play Fogerty's music ! I don't mean for this to sound like it's about me . All that stuff is just point of reference . This music is as great as any , and really tells relatable stories . It's up to ALL OF us to see it lives on !!!

    I've always loved CCR and when this came out I was 19 years old living in a barracks on Whiteman Air Force Base, Misery. Whiteman Airplane Patch!
    I bought this CD in May, 1985 and it was my 3rd ever CD after the boss and purple rain. I remember that May the Base would not turn on the A/C in the barracks(but every other building had A/C) until it turned 80 degrees 3 days in a row. Well it got hot in those barracks, so hot that when I left my room there were guys sleeping in the dirty hallway. Tensions were high a couple of disgruntled airmen went to the day room and threw the brand new console TV out the 2nd floor window. Next thing we know we've got room inspection and I'm standing in attention in the hallway while the commander walks over sleeping airmen. Well, everybody's sweating the comm commander finally got the message and got on the hallway phone to the civil engineer commander the a/c got turned on that day. Day room was locked up for awhile and they took out the beer vending machines as the law had changed from 18 to 21. Those were the worst barracks I was ever in and I was in A LOT of barracks/dorms around the world. Fly safe fellas enjoy your Fogerty and CCR!
